New Year’s Day Soup with Cheddar-Chive Beer Bread

Today I’m sharing two recipes I make every New Year’s Day. One is an easy soup that you can get cooking in 15 minutes (cook time is about 90) and the other, a savory quick bread recipe that takes no yeast and about 5 minutes to pop into the oven. Just what you want when you’re a) hungover b) tired of the kids’ holiday break c) taking down Christmas decorations d) watching football or e) all of the above.
